Hi folks, it is so good of harry to use his blog and tell you about my book, a fiction piece, but he must take some credit as the editor, he has taught me such a lot. If you do buy it at 99p and have the time to review it that would be brilliant and much appreciated, an awful lot of work has gone into it, bless you all and the wishing you the best of new years xx
